全球发展战略合作伙伴项目国际专家网络讲座第六讲

2023年4月17日18点北师大全球发展战略合作伙伴项目国际专家网络讲座第六讲隆重举行。主讲人为来自该项目国际合作单位联合国国际贸易法委员会负责电子商务工作组的Luca Castellani博士,法学院院长梁迎修教授作为致辞嘉宾,介绍了北师大与联合国国际贸易法委员会长期的合作关系、联合主办的国际活动,并表达了继续与之合作发展的良好愿望。本次讲座由法学院薛虹教授担任主持人和评议人。薛虹教授介绍了Castellani博士在联合国专门机构工作二十余年,积累了关于国际立法工作的丰富经验,参与多部联合国电子商务领域的示范法起草、谈判、解释、修订工作,为国际贸易法发展作出贡献。

Castellani博士讲解了联合国国际贸易法委员会的重要地位和发展数字贸易的重要作用。数字贸易需要适宜的法律环境,特别是协调的国际法律标准。数字贸易涉及交易、安全保障、数据、隐私、网络犯罪、消费者保护、知识产权等各方面的法律问题。各国通过加入国际条约或适用国际示范法可以保证法律之间的和谐统一。联合国电子商务示范法、电子签名示范法、国际合同使用电子通信公约、电子可转移记录示范法及身份管理和可信服务的使用及跨境互认示范法都是联合国在统一协调数字贸易法律体系的重要努力。Castellani博士比较详尽地介绍了可转移记录示范法的有关内容,强调单证的电子化对于数字化的国际贸易具有促进和保障作用。电子化的单证在单一性、可控性、占有性方面都发生了变化,必须采用有效的法律机制才能避免电子单证的滥用,保障交易安全。联合国可转移记录示范法得到了广泛的认可与多国的采纳。Castellani博士还介绍了最新的联合国身份管理和可信服务的使用及跨境互认示范法的有关情况。该示范法为各国发展电子身份管理系统和可信服务提供了统一的原则和法律框架,奠定了有关跨境互认和国际合作的基础。联合国国际贸易法委员会还在探索其他数字贸易领域的国际立法,并注重与自由贸易协定等其他国际法律体制的协调发展。

薛虹教授感谢主讲人深入浅出的讲解,介绍了中国采纳电子化可转移记录的经验,强调在数字贸易、物联网等新兴领域进行国际规则、标准合作的重要性。评议人和主讲人就有关国际法律问题进行了深入的探讨和交流。来自中国、法国、意大利、刚果等8个国家的中国法硕士项目的留学生、外国交换生、法律硕士生、法学博士生共计二十余人参加了讲座,并对讲座质量给予高度评价。
